[QUOTE="Dustyroads, post: 712850, member: 22610"] I'm sorry, but you are incorrect. UPS did design the cars. The manufacturers didn't just come up with the ideas of what UPS should have on their package cars. Grumman-Olson, for example, is a manufacturer of step vans for commercial use. They make step vans that have features for various commercial applications. They are a truck body company. They make step vans according to the customer's specifications, tailored to fit various industrial applications. We write the specifications, and then, Grumman-Olson, for example, submits a bid for a certain number of vehicles, manufactured to meet the bid specifications. The only cars we didn't design were the old Ford Econoline bubbletop vans. Ford made the van, and we retrofited the shelves. They didn't have a bulkhead door. They did, however, have a three point belt. I drove the bubbletops for 14 years, and the last one in our district, I drove through Christmas of 1994 until it was crushed. [/QUOTE]
